Andheri's Silver Screen Residents: A Glimpse into the Celebrity Abodes of Mumbai's Entertainment Hub

If you live in Mumbai, you understand that not all suburbs are made equal. If there is one place in Mumbai that is a favorite with homeowners and commercial real estate investors alike, Andheri has to be it. It is perhaps the best-connected among the central suburbs and offers an upscale, luxurious lifestyle.

Andheri showcases everything glamorous about Mumbai living. Andheri East is closer to the airport and is home to several corporations and 5-star hotels in the city. The western part of the suburb has a glitzier and more glamorous outlook. Apart from Juhu and Bandra, Andheri is the preferred destination for most Bollywood actors, directors, producers, and artists. This is not very surprising, considering Andheri is home to several media companies and sound recording studios that cater to the Hindi film industry.  

Be it business, shopping, entertainment, or culture - Andheri has it all. Posh and upscale neighborhoods like Versova and Lokhandwala are preferred residential destinations for India's silver-screen celebrities. While Andheri East is just as well connected, Andheri West gives you a better opportunity for celebrity spotting. Here is a list of some of the top actors living in Andheri.

• Ayushmann Khurrana has won the hearts of millions of Indian cinema lovers with his portrayal of unique characters in movies like Vicky Donor, Dum Laga Ke Haisha, and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan. His home in Andheri West is as distinctive as his acting. The seven-bedroom, 4000-square-foot apartment is a blend of class, elegance, comfort, and quirkiness. Located on the 20th floor of a high-rise building, the apartment offers breathtaking views of the city skyline.

• Oberoi Springs in Andheri West is a luxury housing project known for its celebrity residents, such as Chitrangada Singh and Neil Nitin Mukesh. Vicky Kaushal used to live here before he moved to Juhu. One of the famous actors living in Andheri's Oberoi Springs is Rajkummar Rao, who enthralled us with his performance in movies like Trapped, Newton, and Stree. Apart from this swanky, luxurious apartment, the actor also owns a triplex apartment in JVLR.

• Priyanka Chopra Jonas is undeniably one of the most popular and beloved celebrity residents of Andheri West. When the actress is not travelling around the globe, she loves to spend time at her sprawling home in Lokhandwala Complex, Andheri. The apartment is estimated to have a market value of about INR 8 crore. During her engagement to Nick Jonas in 2018, Priyanka shared several pictures of this luxurious home.

• Pet lovers, take heart! Actor Randeep Hooda's lavish and opulent bachelor pad in Versova features cosy furnishings and minimalist decor to accommodate his furry pet, Bambi. Randeep shot to fame with his performances in movies like Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai to Saheb, Biwi aur Gangster, and Sarbjit. His love of books and clean, clutter-free decor is evident in his Versova home.

• Arshad Warsi is perhaps the most versatile actor in contemporary films. Apart from his well-known portrayal of Circuit in the Munna Bhai series of movies, he has delighted fans with his performance in movies like Jolly LLB and the Golmaal trilogy. Warsi and his wife, Maria Goretti, live in the opulent Bungalow No. 10 of the Air India Co-operative Society, a home they have owned since 2012.

• Kriti Sanon - With the release of Adipurush, Kirti Sanon gained spectacular fame in Bollywood. Her home in Andheri is famous for several reasons. It is owned by the B'wood icon Amitabh Bachchan and is rented by Kirti. Done up in stunning colours and cool, comfortable textures, this duplex occupies the 27th and 28th floors of an Andheri high-rise.

• Akshay Kumar - While Akshay Kumar is not one of the actors living in Andheri, our favorite Khiladi owns four apartments in Transcon Triumph Tower in Andheri. Apart from this, the actor owns a sprawling bungalow in Juhu.

This is not an exhaustive list. Andheri is home to several Bollywood actors and artists, including Ashutosh Rana, Dhanush, Chandrachur Singh, Adnan Sami, Anant Mahadevan, Aditya Lakhia, and Annu Kapoor. The suburb's proximity to some of the top commercial hubs of Mumbai, such as the BKC, SEEPZ, and MIDC makes it perfect for professionals looking to invest in residential real estate in the city.
